South Africa’s DJ/producer and Knowledge label boss Deano debuts on Ben Sims‘ Hardgroove imprint with a 6-track EP that includes a Mark Broom Remix.

Entitled ‘Paleo‘, the new EP showcases powerful and funky techno mixed with rock-solid grooves, and is scheduled to be released on april 1st, 2022. All tracks suit perfectly with the label’s sound, and Broom’s remix snips away at the original and adds screw-face low-end and percussive guts before Deano’s ‘The Oldowan V2’ sees the producer mangle the original into a crunching, filtered banger. Very recommendable. Full details below.

Comprising five originals and a remix from techno legend Mark Broom, ‘Paleo’ finds DJ/producer and Knowledge label boss Deano in meaty form. Urgent, powerful and funky techno is on the menu from the off, with ‘Epoch’, ‘Venus of Tan-Tan’ and ‘Terra Amata’ all showing a deft touch when it comes to teasing rock-solid grooves into peak time monoliths. The second half of ‘Paleo’ is ‘The Oldowan’, a grinding cut that unfurls into a masterclass in using repetition to hammer a dancefloor. Broom’s remix snips away at the original and adds screw-face low-end and percussive guts before Deano’s ‘The Oldowan V2’ sees the producer mangle the original into a crunching, filtered banger.
